Re: I have problems with the quality of scanned documents

Hi all,

I use Dropbox for work to upload onto a shared drive which is linked with our company IT system and the scans are automatically inputted in the booking they are scanned for.

I recently (in the last 2 to 3 weeks), have had an issue with scan quality. The quality of the scans has randomly become very pixilated and low quality. This was never an issue before!

How can I fix this and revert back to high quality uploads?

Side note: I have tried the following;
- revert to a previous version of Dropbox via APK download
- reinstalled the app
- cleared data & cache
- tried on 3 alternate devices

It seems to be an android issue, however other colleagues of mine use androids as work phones and their uploads are fine. Mine were crystal clear on my Z Flip 3 up until about two weeks ago!

Any help would be amazing!!!
